T.J. Oshie's GF Lauren Cosgrove might be more famous than he is now

Along with the more than 4 million Americans who tuned in to watch T.J. Oshie's remarkable performance in a shootout win over the Russians on the weekend, U.S. President Barack Obama sent a tweet of congratulations to the St. Louis Blues winger -- quite possibly the highest honour an American athlete can receive.

While Oshie's shootout heroics have since dissipated, his name continues to circulate the Internet for a much different reason: his girlfriend Lauren Cosgrove.

Before Team USA's 3-2 shootout win over Russia on Saturday, most Americans had never heard of the 27-year-old Oshie -- or Cosgrove, who is pregnant, according to her Twitter account.

Now, the couple is one of the hottest items in the NHL.

And, after her selfies went viral, it appears Cosgrove is one of the most popular significant others.
